THE British Polio Fellowship is committed to supporting and empowering thousands of people in the UK living with the late effects of Polio and Post Polio Syndrome (PPS) with guidance and advice.
The fact is more can be done on raising awareness on PPS and as July is British Polio month I would call on your readers to help us raise awareness of PPS and the effects of a condition that affects around 120,000 people in the UK.
PPS and the late effects of Polio impact on around the same number of people as Motor Neurone disease or Parkinson's, yet the condition remains little known amongst the public or medical professions.
britishpolio.org.uk has lots of advice for those living with the late effects of Polio or PPS.
